A different view

Is Rosie O'Donnell getting ready to cut herself out of "The View?"

O'Donnell told a "View" studio audience that she'd been offered the female lead on the plastic surgery drama "Nip/Tuck" because show actress Joely Richardson is leaving for a year, "Access Hollywood" reports. O'Donnell would reprise character Dawn Budge, who had a guest role this season.

The newest "View" host didn't say if she was going to do "Nip/Tuck," but she did say the schedule would be 15 weeks of shooting in L.A. O'Donnell has said in the past she's only signed on for one season at "The View," "Access Hollywood" says.
